Liddington Castle is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated on Liddington Hill near the village of Liddington in north Wiltshire, commanding views across the Vale of the White Horse. The site comprises a single defensive rampart with an external ditch enclosing approximately four hectares, with evidence of settlement activity dating principally to the later Iron Age. The fort occupies a prominent strategic location on the Ridgeway and may have served as a territorial stronghold during the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. Excavations have revealed domestic occupation including pottery and artefactual remains consistent with Iron Age habitation, though the precise chronology and duration of occupation remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
